Abstract

Provided is an authentication apparatus that can register the fingerprint data for collation for comparing with the read fingerprint data, easily. A fingerprint reading part reads fingerprint data at the time of the touch operation of the input identification code. A fingerprint data collating part, specifies authentication identification code and authenticates a user by comparing the read fingerprint data and the authentication fingerprint data associated with the authentication identification code and stored in the memory part. Authentication-fingerprint-data registering part, when the authentication fingerprint data correspond with the read fingerprint data are not stored, and when the authentication identification code corresponded with the input identification code is stored, associates the read fingerprint data with the authentication identification code corresponded with the input identification code as authentication fingerprint data and store it in the memory part.
